- Abstract
Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) “Rama” is one of the potato chips producers in Batu City with a production capacity of 210 kg per day with the trademark “Rama Djaya”. Drying of potatoes in SMEs “Rama” is done by drying in direct sunlight. Drying with drying has several disadvantages, including drying is very dependent on the weather, so it takes innovation of dryer technology to overcome this, namely ERK Cabinet Dryer (Greenhouse Effect) with a capacity of 200-300 kg. The performance of ERK dryers is not optimal, so it is necessary to analyze the feasibility of ERK cabinet dryer technology. The purpose of this study is to analyze the efficiency of the use of ERK cabinet dryers, economic feasibility and added value using hayami method for the development of SME potato chips business “Rama”. The ERK dryer performance test was conducted five experiments. The results of the ERK dryer feasibility test showed the cabinet type ERK potato dryer has an average efficiency of 83.81% so that this dryer is feasible for use. Economically the use of ERK dryers is more efficient than manual drying and the added value generated by using an ERK dryer can increase the added value of potato chips. Proposed repair of ERK dryer is modification of heat distributor between blower and dryer room where the material chips, arrangement or reduction of the number of fans/blowers so that the hot air contained in the dryer room.
